Verdict

Hilltop Supreme reverted to hurdles to gain the first victory of his career at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago and is 10lb higher over fences. PETERSTOWN is 0-18 though his close second to the in-form Kristian Goingwell over the track and trip last month would probably be good enough to take this though potential punters would need to ignore a poor latest effort. I'll Be That Lady was beaten a nose at Naas in November and started favourite at Navan next time but ran very poorly. The veteran Flynsini is on a very long losing run but hasn't run badly recently and is on his lowest ever mark.
